Louisiana, October 18: A couple in Louisiana, United States, welcomed "spontaneous triplets," the name for naturally conceiving identical triplets, a rare event that occurs in one out of every one million to 200 million pregnancies. According to a news statement, Haley and Matthew Cordaro gave birth to the trio in late August at Willis-Knighton South & the Centre for Women's Health.

We were so fortunate and blessed to have made it 32 weeks and delivered three healthy babies considering all the potential risks when pregnant with multiples," the couple told People Magazine. We are aware that we may face certain difficulties, but we are excited about our new life with the girls, the couple told People Magazine. Haley went into labour at 31 weeks, resulting in their children being born prematurely. They all weighed less than three pounds and had been in the hospital since birth. It's Triplets! Woman Gives Birth to Three Babies Through Normal Delivery in Bhiwandi.

"They have done very well," stated Dr Gerald Brent Whitton, a NICU doctor who has been caring for Claire, Ella, and Lily Codaro, in a statement. It had been a simple and basic stay. We'll bring the parents up here as the infants' discharge date approaches to get them acclimated to caring for all three at the same time, it said. According to the hospital, the girls must pass three examinations. They must be able to manage their temperature in their cot and have any respiratory issues corrected.
